let 'em fizzle
wasn't such a good year after all
Blimpin' ain't E-Z
the thread should have just ended here
Good Year?
No, the worst
Did they died?
Gott im Himmel
It's hard out there for a blimp.
Remember when the US Navy tried to have flying aircraft carriers only for them both to crash?
Sabotage like the Hindenburg
they would have become obsolete very quickly anyways
they tried to do a cabled observation basket like in Castle in the Sky and it just flapped all the way up the side of the ship and back. They never put a person in it
Rigid hull airships are really quite complicated and delicate flying machines
Why wouldn't pic related work? On a smaller scale of course. Basically a hollow platform with EMALS. WHY NOT you STUPID bastard?
why do you need that when you already have long range bombers and planes that can refuel in the air and stay airborne at all times
If you could even launch it, fuel costs alone would be moronicly expensive. not to mention any of the other dozen flaws in the plan
I don't care how unrealistic this was: fricking kino game. Armored aircraft zeppelins engaging in Battle of Midway level combat over major cities.
Sold well. Well received. Beloved by those who played it. Never got a sequel.
It's just not fair.
I replied to wrong anon
it's okay no one cares
In a game called The Saboteur there is a level where survive an exploding zeppelin
that one is the sequel
Fricking amazing game
They should do a Hindenburg movie about what really happened. The sabotage from the airline industry
they did do a hindenburg conspiracy theory movie with George C Scott.
Nice
and Anne Bancroft
nice
Crazy thing is there were quite a lot of survivors
Yeah you can see why it killed blimps off in the industry. It looks apocalyptic. Such an enduring visual.
Looks like it was a pretty soft landing.
Ironically, most of the people who survived the crash are the ones who stayed in the gondola and just walked out when it touched down. Most of the deaths were from jumping.
>Decide to go flying in what is essentially a giant balloon
>The one form of flight that can be popped by a fricking needle
Are humans just moronic or something?
Back in world war one blimps used to take machine gun fire and get shot full of holes with no ill effects.
*loads incendiary bullets*
Heh, nothing personnel..
Weird how someone was just there to film this.
The Hindenberg had photographers at every landing since it was mainly a pr stunt by the Nazis. This one probably had the fewest photographers present since the Hindenberg had to go into a holding pattern for almost 2 hours since it can't land in a thunderstorm. They should have waited 20 more minutes.
Those pictures of the Hidenburg over manhattan with the swastika on the tail were kino. Some of them were taken the same day as the disaster when it tried to land in NJ.
Wolfenstein vibe
Is the cameraman getting humped?
i wonder what other countries have as their big Hindenburg moments?
Korea had this. The sinking of MV Sewol. It so catastrophic and the way it was handled is so bad people think it was intention. As a giant sacrifice.
476 passengers
304 deaths (250 students)
Nothing comes close.
that shit was genuinely depressing. The videos of the kids all fricking around saying they are worried about drowning as the crew abandons them to slowly drown in the freezing water kills me on the inside.
>handled so bad that people think it was intentional
I think it had more to do with your cultist president and her rasputin having connections to the company
>ship heavily listing, logically gonna sink or at least no longer safe
>stay in your cabin anyway because the voice on the PA said everything is fine and to not trust your lying eyes
Bug people. The only people who survived were the ones who didn't obey orders.
Did it say that Ice Cube is a pimp on it?
blimps are cool
NO HELICOPTER LOOKIN FOR A MURDER
TWO IN THE MORNING GOT THE FATBURGER
EVEN SAW THE LIGHTS OF THE GOODYEAR BLIMP
IT READ "PLEASE HELP HOLY SHIT"
The exact moment Saul Goodyear became Hindenburg.
That is a really good joke. Good job anon.
they should bring back zeppelins. airplanes are becoming too fricking expensive.
Zeppelins would be even more expensive. They're so slow that they'd have to be marketed as a "luxury" option to have any hope of making money, which is how they were ran back then too. Like aerial hotels, with restaurants and dancehalls and even sleeping rooms.
zepplins are even more expensive, epsecially since the gas they need is becoming rarer, all for something that is worse in any practical way
THAT'S GOTTA HURT!
>Mr Stark, I don't feel so good.
goddamn even modern ones catch fire and explode. maybe it's time to throw in the towel and admit blimps are shitty.
Blimps are fricking cool and if people have to die then so be it.
Blimps are coming back
They are making a return
>Blimps are coming back
are slow and airliners made them obsolete
floating restaurants used to be a thing.
Lazy air travel> Super Sonic Judaism
what does oh the humanity even mean as an exclamation? i don't get it.
They were more thoughtful and Christian back in the day so they used alternatives to "OH MY GOD".
so did this just happen, or is this just a blimp thread
